Pictorial: Blue Storm

13 August, 2014

Blue is a color that doesn’t get as much love as other bright colors, it can end up looking extremely bad or really good, there is no in-between. In this pictorial, I’ll show you an easy way to achieve a blue smokey eye that will look perfect for a night out, just follow every step!

3. With a color similar to your skin, blend the edges of the liner to make a smooth transition between your crease and the lids, do the same with the under eye area and drag it straight to the inner corner.

4. Use your finger to pack the sparkly blue eyeshadow onto your lids, this way you will get a better color payoff and it will stay in place. You can also tap your finger a little so that you don’t get fallouts.

5. Take the transition color again and blend away the blue eyeshadow a little above your crease to create a smokey effect.

6. With the matte black eyeshadow, create dimension in your eyes by applying it to the outer corners, connecting the top and lower lash lines. Gently, blend it out with your transition shade for a seamless edge.

7. Apply a champagne highlight to your inner corners and brow bone. This color will contrast with the blue on your lids, making it pop out more.

8. Tight line your eyes with black gel liner and line your upper lash line, create a small wing that fades along with the black in the outer corners. Finally, apply tons of black mascara.
